More quotes by Jennifer Weiner
There's all kinds of love in the world, and not all of it looks like the stuff in greeting cards.
Jennifer Weiner
I love it when people ask if Jennifer Weiner is a pen name. Um, if I wanted a pen name I could have done a LOT better than this!
Jennifer Weiner
I decided.. that I could go on being scared forever, that I could keep walking, that I could carry my rage around, hot and heavy in my chest forever. But maybe there was another way. You have everything you need, my mother had told me. And maybe all I needed was the courage to admit that what I needed was someone to lean on.
Jennifer Weiner
Everyone has sorrow. Everyone has obligations. Everyone keeps going. You lean on the people who love you. You do the best you can, and you keep going.
Jennifer Weiner
I struggle with the fact that men's popular fiction is talked about differently. Books like mine don't get as many reviews and probably won't win any prizes, but they entertain the pants off of hundreds of thousands of women.
Jennifer Weiner
The idea you can tell a writer of a specific religion to stop writing about that religion is presumptuous.
Jennifer Weiner
My book sales make 'real writers' possible.
Jennifer Weiner
I don't particularly like being angry about stuff. I'd rather hang out with my daughter and write my little books.
Jennifer Weiner
When I was five I learned to read. Books were a miracle to me - white pages, black ink, and new worlds and different friends in each one. To this day, I relish the feeling of cracking a binding for the first time, the anticipation of where I'll go and whom I'll meet inside.
Jennifer Weiner
She hated the implied familiarity when customers requested things from her by name.
Jennifer Weiner
And then he left, and came back, and our lives fell apart, like a well-loved book that you’d read and read again, until one night you picked it up to read yourself to sleep and the binding collapsed, sending dozens of pages spiraling toward the floor.
Jennifer Weiner
I'm going to continue writing. I'll always be a storyteller. But I'm also taking time to enjoy my life.
Jennifer Weiner
Whenever people with money have power over people with less money, you have the potential for exploitation.
Jennifer Weiner
Hefty? I'd railed to Peter, waving the clipping for emphasis. Hefty? For the record 'Hefty' is a trash bag. I'm festively plump.
Jennifer Weiner
If you write chick lit, and if you're a New Yorker, and if your book becomes the topic of pop-culture fascination, the paper might make dismissive and ignorant mention of your book. If you write romance, forget about it. You'll be lucky if they spell your name right on the bestseller list.
Jennifer Weiner
Sometimes the worst thing that happens to you, the thing you think you can't survive...it's the thing that makes you better than you used to be.
Jennifer Weiner
The truth is, what I learned this year is that life is hard...Good people die for no reason. Little kids get sick. The people that are supposed to love you end up leaving.
Jennifer Weiner
Every mother I've ever met, pretty much without exception, is doing the best job she can ever do.
Jennifer Weiner
I will love myself, and my body, for what it can do- because it is strong enough to lift, to walk, to ride a bicyle up a hill, to embrace the people I love and hold them fully, and to nurture a new life. I will love myself because I am sturdy. Because I did not -will not- break.
Jennifer Weiner
I'm not in charge of my life.
